Fabric Draping in Weddings

Have you found the perfect wedding venue? Sometimes everything about a venue seems right except the ballroom or hall is not exactly what you envisioned. One way to transform a ballroom or outdoor space to a romantic wedding ballroom is using fabric draping. It can really change the ambiance of the foom by giving it a softer, romantic look - unlike a 'clean slate' room where colors might clash with the wedding colors. You can customize the room or space with the style and colors you want. Depending on your desired look and budget, you can choose from an array of fabrics like tulle, cotton, chiffon, and satin.

In addition to fabric being used to create backdrops, they can be used to frame doors, accent stair railings, enclose columns and pillars and completely change a room by wrapping in drape. Lighting and flowers can enhance the drape. You can also tie the fabric drapings with ribbons and/or floral accents. So many creative options!

Fabric draping can also be applied in outdoor weddings. Outdoor wedding draping adds warmth and charm to natural space. You can still have a little bit of the indoors while still being outdoors. You can purchase or create a frame, and then simply wrap and swag the fabric around the frame. You can also drape gently around trees, awnings and poles. Just imagine what a simple fabric can do to completely transform a barnyard or a garden!
